:?: Is this dangerous? A crime? Even possible?

Got a used Ibanez Artcore 80 which I love a lot. It does what it was designed to do. However... The pickups are quite clean and bordering on neutral with not a lot of top end. Great for jazz, not quite so much for my viewpoint on Rockabilly.

Thinking about plunking a couple of Bill Lawrence Keystones. Is this possible? Is this guitar suicide? Anybody ever heard of this? And... is it legal?

I know a guy that put a Tele neck pup on a resonator and the
results were very good.

I think it is possable but it might look ugly. Seymour Duncan makes humbucker size P 90 single coils that would go easier. And hey, if you get caught you will only get 3 to 5 years.

Hmmmm. Any info or examples of what those p-90s sound like? I don't want the classic Tele icepick but I prefer to avoid mud in a sock too. On the other hand... Ugly is what kept me alive last time I went to jail. I'll have to think about it.
Thanks.
